Had to pull 2.1 million from my trading account. Putting 500k into
my 3 kids college funds, 600k towards my retirement home in Cali,
and the rest considering to throw it across the board in bonds, junk &
conservative. 60k a year from bonds ain't bad. Best to buy after 2 bad years. As a matter of fact the dirty little secret is the wisest of wise are 80% in bonds. Always look where they don't want you to.

"""Always look where they don't want you to."""
Isn't that the truth. whenever i talk to Fidelity, whatever they encourage me to "not" do, I have had great success doing it.

Fidelity and other brokerage houses are like the hot girl all dressed up that gets you to marry her. you just wanted to lease and she convinced you to buy. In 6 months you will be wandering the median interstate in your bathrobe looking for the mental hospital.

Fidelity's idea of a good return is 1%, but I do like the fact that they really reduced their commission
in response to the rest of the industry getting cheaper. Makes it easier to skim.
You can make 8% a year in junk bonds without any real gambling. With stocks, you are constantly gambling. Just something to think about.

I do agree. with the commission drop too. the push for lower returns bothers me less than the restrictions they place, trying to get their fund managers the best fees by having nobody move their money.

Clean sweep. All 11 of my positions closed profitably.
Time to celebrate at Bob Chinns Steak & Crab House. And I mean it!

Shorted 1unit DGAZ 23.68
In 2008 or 2009, I was developing a system for either SKF or something using units. Though a trailblazer in this field, I abandoned it only to revive it again. Kudos to me Shills.
